CPU, Chassis & AGP cooling Fan connectors - Fan1, Fan2 & Fan3 The main board provides two onboard 12V cooling fan power connectors for CPU (Fan 1), AGP device (Fan 3) cooling fan. Depending on the fan maker, the wiring and plug may be different.
HOT-597 provides optional data integrity features including EC (Eccor Checking) or ECC (Error Checking and Correcting) in the memory array. EC mode provides single and multiple bit error detection. In ECC mode, during reads from the DRAM, the HOT-597 provides error checking and correction of the data.
Flash Utility This chapter briefly discusses Award Flash utility provides instructions to guide you through updating your old BIOS. The file name we use to program here is test.bin, and the file name to save old BIOS is 597.OLD. Please note that those file names are not absolute. They are only examples to let you have a more clear understanding of the updating process.
Page 24
If "Yes" To save the old BIOS: Please respond "Y", and then press the ENTER key. Move the cursor to "File Name to Save: " Type file name "597.OLD", and then press the ENTER key. (Your old BIOS will be saved in the file name you create.
Graphics Port (AGP) functionalists. System Requirements This driver should be installed on a system with the HOT-597 main board which based on VIA AGP chipset VT82C598MVP, and others’ main board will not be supported. The VIA VGART Driver is only supported by Windows 95 OSR 2.1 (4.00.950 B) or later version.
BIOS Setup HOT-597 BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.
